A memory for goals model of prospective memory
Abstract
We present a novel model of prospective memory and fit it to data from a classic experimental paradigm (Einstein & Mc- Daniel, 1990). Our model uses memory for goals (Altmann & Trafton, 2002) and elaboration with spreading activation to show how prospective intentions can be cued by perceptual cues. Our model also suggests how to resolve some of the con- troversies concerning prospective memory and aging.
